As Danushka Gunathilaka is suspended from cricket, a look at cricketers who got into legal trouble for non-cricket related crimes.
Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka has been suspended from all forms of cricket after a Norwegian woman accused his friend of raping her in a hotel room where the all-rounder was present. It was said that Gunathilaka and his friend took two Norwegian women to the hotel where the player was staying in Colombo in the early hours of Sunday. One of the women later accused Gunathilaka's friend of raping her and police arrested him. While Gunathalika is not being accused of rape, he may well be involved in a lengthy matter with the law.
However, he is not the first cricketer to get into trouble with the law for a serious crime. Here's a look at cricketers who got into legal trouble for non-cricket related crimes.
